Not only is England rainy, it’s also drippy. Normally, on a rainy walk through town, you’d probably duck under awnings or walk close to the building side of the street to avoid as much rainfall as possible. Well, this just isn’t possible in England. First of all there is no standard size awning, so you can never be sure you’ll make it under. And when … Continue reading There’s So Much Weather!
Well, I may not have gotten to 365 pubs (yet) but I definitely made it through 365 days of English fun! I’ve had loads of fun so far and there’s sure to be more to come! Here are just a few pictures of what I’ve been up to over the last year. Continue reading Happy Anniversary
I’ve got pretty good self esteem, which is nice. But every once and a while something can happen to shake you. At least once a month I get people telling me I look like a certain TV star. A TV star, you say? How flattering. Hm, sure, maybe if it was someone from a show called “You’re Pretty” or “You Look Good In That Dress.” … Continue reading Self Esteem
Ever wonder what it’s like to party with me? Well, here is a great visual representation of just how much fun I have all the time! I don’t just have fun times like this at bars; I was this excited when I paid rent today, too! Continue reading Visualizing Fun
Sunday, September 19. What a beautifully miserable day. It’s September 19 and it’s raining. As in proper raining. The kind that you can see falling, can watch making ripples in the puddles, and can feel through the dampness of your clothes. But most importantly, the kind that makes it worth carrying around your umbrella all day. Despite the misery of the weather, today is actually … Continue reading Beautifully Miserable
I have finally made some kind of formatting decision regarding this, the very reason for my blog, the Canadian to English (British) Dictionary! This is a culmination of all the words I’ve learnt while living in England; some I’ve heard before and some that are completely new to me. Just when I think I’ve heard all the crazy slang England’s got to offer, something else … Continue reading Canadian to English Dictionary: The Post!
Hey, guess what?! I wrote a non-review post for my other blog. It’s about infidelity and films. Intrigued? You should read it. Yes, you. Go on, click here; you know you want to. Continue reading Cross Over Episode
Disaster. I have discovered a fatal flaw in the new iPod Shuffle. As I have already mentioned in a previous post, the headphones that came with my Shuffle must be worn with the Shuffle because they contain the only controls for volume, pausing, skipping tracks, etc. The problem I encountered is that the actual ear buds don’t stay in my ears. For Christmas, my wonderful … Continue reading iFlawed
Rewind. It’s May 13, I have been close to drowning working only 12 hours a week and not making enough money to pay rent and I’ve just been offered a second job that I really want. I am over the moon excited. I am supposed to start at the end of May. It’s June. The new shop isn’t finished being built yet. I’ve been walking … Continue reading Thirty Days Work
This post is a little belated since the events which I am about to write happened in July, but like I mentioned before I’ve been busy but I thought this was cool enough to share with everyone. My friend Selina invited me to a BBQ at her parents’ house, which also happens to be a Falconry/Birds of Prey Centre. I felt like I had snuck … Continue reading Minster Falconry
